[FEATURE REQUEST] Reuse VDATE value with differ formating

Open dariuszkowalski-com opened this issue 4 years ago • 9 comments

I want to create a note in a folder structure:

  • YYYY
    • MM
      • DD FILE-YYYY-MM-DD.md

During a creation process I need only enter DATE ones, then I need to use this with many forms: {{VDATE:data,YYYY}} - for first level of folders {{VDATE:data,MM}} - for second {{VDATE:data:DD}} - for last {{VDATE:data:YYYY-MM-DD}} - for a file name

Now, 'data' is fixed and is formatted as a first usage. To solve it I need to ask about Year, Month, Day In this scenario, I can't use a natural language like (next week)

Any news on that? I also like the idea of re-using the date. Then, for example, the filename could be defined as Meeting - {{VDATE:Date, YYYY-MM-DD}}.md, and in the template, the VDATE variable Date could be re-used with a different formatting, e.g. {{VDATE:Date, dddd, YYYY-MM-DD}}.

+1 for it, really useful for having task added to daily note as in:

daily/{{VDATE:date, gggg}}/{{VDATE:date, gggg-MM-DD}}.md

{{VALUE:task}} {{VALUE:,🔼,⏫,🔺,🔽,⏬️}} 📅 {{VDATE:date, gggg-MM-DD}}

yes please! 🙏 I seldom need the same date format in both the filename and the note's body.
